Women Watch
This book came to be because my mentor and dearest friend, William Ashoka Ross, believed in me and loved me enough to let me get mad. Mary Jane Ryan of Conari Press kept the concept alive for five years while teaching me how to write. Leslie Berriman, my optimistic editor at Conari Press, and Pam Suwinsky, copyeditor, brilliantly smoothed out the manuscript. Brenda Knight, sales director, continues to encourage my work by selling thousands of my books.
Tad Benson, Cliff Durfee, Bob Edwards, Marie Guise, M.A., Julie Hotard, Ph.D., Virginia Kimball, Chloe Patton, Cathy Schalkle, and Jean Theisen contributed much appreciated life experience, handholding, and chocolate. Jay Schlechter, Ph.D., whose sweet laughter softens my heart, shared his wisdom and called every day to check on me and keep me going.
